The practice of Swaddling has been famous over centuries. It is beneficial for various reasons such as help in calming the baby, putting them to sleep easier and faster, and sleeping longer.

Swaddling is a traditional practice of wrapping a baby up gently in a light, breathable blanket to help them feel calm and sleep. They should only have their body wrapped and not their neck or head. The book has a step-by-step demonstration of how to swaddle an infant properly.
Dr. Gaurav Nigam also said that if Swaddling is not done correctly, it may increase the chance of hip dysplasia. Parents must choose the correct fabric for swaddling as Swaddling aims to make the baby feel safe, not warm. Additionally, the author stated that Swaddling must be introduced to a baby from the time of birth.
